A top FBI special agent admitted to House committees last week that bureau officials were known to leak information to the press and then use the resulting articles to help obtain surveillance warrants.

Special Agent Jonathan Moffa, who worked with controversial former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, testified last Friday behind closed doors before the House Judiciary Committee and House Oversight Committee.

A source with knowledge of his testimony confirmed to Fox News that Moffa said FBI personnel would use media reports based on information they leaked to justify applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants.


The source told Fox News that Moffa acknowledged this “had been a practice in the past.”

SOURCES: CHINA HACKED HILLARY CLINTON’S PRIVATE EMAIL SERVER
https://dailycaller.com/2018/08/27/c...linton-server/
A Chinese-owned company operating in the Washington, D.C., area hacked Hillary Clinton’s private server throughout her term as secretary of state and obtained nearly all her emails, two sources briefed on the matter told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Chinese firm obtained Clinton’s emails in real time as she sent and received communications and documents through her personal server, according to the sources, who said the hacking was conducted as part of an intelligence operation.

The Chinese wrote code that was embedded in the server, which was kept in Clinton’s residence in upstate New York. The code generated an instant “courtesy copy” for nearly all of her emails and forwarded them to the Chinese company, according to the sources.

The Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) found that virtually all of Clinton’s emails were sent to a “foreign entity,” Rep. Louie Gohmert, a Texas Republican, said at a July 12 House Committee on the Judiciary hearing. He did not reveal the entity’s identity, but said it was unrelated to Russia.

It is important. Doesn't take a second to credit the author and include a link. That is the entire point it is not a hobby it's someone's job. Credit where credit is due.


Also how the fuck does Lyle post all day everyday for weeks on end, I don't post for a few days and yet he does not need a hobby? Double standards mate.

Plagiarism was getting a bit out of hand

Saw that a couple of days ago, they do some classic vids.

It didn't come out of Trumps mouth but for a guy in Desantis who basically played his mini me in his campaign adds...using the term "we don't want to monkey things up" ??? when directly speaking about his black opponent Andrew Gillum was incredibly stupid and worse. In the best case his subconscious kicked in and he meant "muck it up" and at worst he knew exactly what he was doing with the racial crap.

who the hell says Monkey it up? Even Fox news had to slap that down and distance themselves. It may have been a quick defection though as his next line was referring to him as a socialist etc. Later on cnn Gillum was lumped in with chairman Mao and Che Rivera ffs. People are losing the plot with this rhetoric and it's going to be a nasty campaign season.

If it was an honest lip which I don't think so then he should be cut some slack. But if you deliberately use that word because of the race of his opponent he should be given even extra points because it is both funny and unable to be proven. This is what's called the defeat of the politically correct: thumbing your nose at being afraid to possibly offend somebody.

Yeah he meant monkey like blacks = monkeys...TOTALLY what he was going for :vd:

Right now EVERYTHING is a "Conservative dog whistle" and you want us to believe Desantis goes heavy handed with "monkey up" and we're supposed to take that as racist?

It's sad and ridiculous people think that way.

Wasn't it that Don Lemon idiot, trying to make out that calling him dumb was racist?

They agree trying too hard.

If you believe in theory of evolution, then we are all technically monkeys.

I believe we are all monkeys. it doesn't bother me in the least if we even go all the way back to the fact that we were a one-celled animal it doesn't bother me in the least. If you call somebody a one celled animal SURELY that is more insulting than calling somebody a monkey.

Calling somebody a monkey should only really insult those religious wackjobs who believe that God reached down and took a handful of clay and breathed on it and created Adam

Actually, we are apes, primates and mammals, but we are not monkeys. Primates evolved into several branches, two of which are apes and monkeys.

We are most closely related to bonobos, more distantly related to gorillas, and even more distantly related to gibbons.

Yeh dunno about that. Have to think if someone calls you a monkey because of your race that falls under the racist arsehole category. Unless 'funny' is a euphemism for that.

this is where 'politically correct' becomes a convenient crutch. PC was used to define 'African American' etc etc . We all know that is a bit silly and my first hand experience is many black people telling me just that. Call me Irish American and I might laugh in someone's face. But now it's PC to object to Monkey it up used when directly discussing a black mans candidacy ? Nah man.

If you thought more about your drive between let's say Pensacola and Biloxi you might be able to see that calling someone a monkey because of the race is not the end of the world and there's no laws against it Nor should there be.

I did say 'if you believe in evolution'.

Apes are monkeys in the same way that monkeys are primates, humans are apes, it’s called a nested hierarchy. This means that all apes are monkeys, but not all monkeys are apes. Just as all humans are apes, but not all apes are human. By the same token, humans are all ape.

On QAnon John McCain was referred to as "No Name" or "We don't say his name" (and sometimes Trump would talk about John McCain and not mention him by name) but this is a post from Q in June....

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DmRc4RZVsAAwk5E.jpg



And what is going on in Congress today? They meeting with Brett Kavanaugh (SC = Supreme Court) today?




But hey, we will see what happens later on. I know President Trump is working hard to get those who oppose him to cheer and root and attach themselves to AG Jeff Sessions.....oooooh baby maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next week, but sometime and sometime before midterms Jeff Sessions is going to lay out some heavy duty shit for the American people and all those folks cheering him on will be left wondering "What the fuck just happened"......we wait and see ;D

Alex Jones went after Lil Marco Rubio pretty hard today which was funny.

The FAILING New York Times published an anonymous Op-Ed from someone inside the White House who is "Part of the Resistance" :rolleyes: ....that desperation is unbecoming of even the NYT. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/05/o...esistance.html

GOD DAMNIT!!!

New York Times Trump op-ed denied by senior officials

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/660/cp...m103319446.jpg

A number of top US officials have denied that they are the author of a damning anonymous editorial that attacks President Donald Trump.

The New York Times article, said to be written by a senior White House official, says Mr Trump's appointees are trying to stifle his agenda.

There is fierce speculation over who is responsible - with the vice-president among those to deny any involvement.

Mr Trump has described the writer as "gutless" and the newspaper as "phony".

A spokesman for Vice-President Mike Pence has dismissed claims that he wrote the op-ed, describing it as "false, illogical and gutless".

Several other cabinet members and top officials have also denied writing the piece.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo attacked the writer as a "disgruntled deceptive bad actor", adding: "I come from a place where if you're not in a position to execute the commander's intent, you have a singular option - that is to leave."

Meanwhile, a spokesman for Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin described the anonymous piece as "irresponsible", while a spokesman for the Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen said: "These types of political attacks are beneath the secretary and the department's mission".

The article - entitled I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration - is written by someone the New York Times describes as a senior official in the Trump administration. The paper says the author requested anonymity and that this was essential to deliver an "important perspective" to its readers.

"Many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations," the article says.

"I would know. I am one of them."

Although the writer says they support the administration's objectives, they say that its successes have come in spite of the president, who is described as impulsive, erratic and amoral, someone whose "misguided impulses" need to be controlled for the good of the US.

"It may be cold comfort in this chaotic era, but Americans should know that there are adults in the room. We fully recognise what is happening. And we are trying to do what's right even when Donald Trump won't," it says.

Angrily. One of Mr Trump's tweets simply said "TREASON?". Another said the "Deep State and the Left, and their vehicle, the Fake News Media, are going Crazy - & they don't know what to do", pointing to the growing US economy as an achievement.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the author was "not putting country first, but putting himself and his ego ahead of the will of the American people. This coward should do the right thing and resign".

Meanwhile, First Lady Melania Trump said: "If a person is bold enough to accuse people of negative actions, they have a responsibility to publicly stand by their words."

The White House is already on the defensive amid questions over Mr Trump's suitability for office raised in a book by revered political journalist Bob Woodward.

Fear: Trump in the White House also describes staff deliberately undermining the president, with some hiding sensitive documents from him to prevent him signing them, and other aides calling him an "idiot" and a "liar". Mr Trump has called the book a "con".

One of the most explosive passages in the New York Times article says there were "early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment", which would allow Mr Trump to be forced out of office.

That top officials are reportedly working against the elected US leader has raised some alarm and not just from the White House. In the Atlantic, David Frum, a Republican commentator who is a fierce critic of Mr Trump, called it a "constitutional crisis".

"What the author has just done is throw the government of the United States into even more dangerous turmoil," he wrote. "He or she has enflamed the paranoia of the president and empowered the president's wilfulness."

A former CIA director, John Brennan, who has been strongly critical of Mr Trump, called the article "active insubordination" although he said it was "born out of loyalty to the country".

Others have wondered whether it was an attempt to distance the Republican administration from their president ahead of the important mid-term elections.

So far, officials who have said they did not write the editorial include:

Defence Secretary James Mattis
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin
Secretary for Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen
Secretary for Housing Ben Carson
Attorney General Jeff Sessions
Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley
Office of Management and Budget Director Mike Mulvaney
Secretary for Veterans Affairs Robert Wilkie
Labour Secretary Alex Acosta
CIA Director Gina Haspel
Energy Secretary Rick Perry
Counsellor Kellyanne Conway
Environmental Protection Agency chief Andrew Wheeler
Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue
Small Business Administration chief Linda McMahon
Health Secretary Alex Azar
Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross

I'm going to guess that IF the New York Times Op-Ed was actually written by someone associated with the White House it ain't going to be a very high level person. Also read the article, it's horseshit "President Trump acts with no regard to party lines"....the horror.


All it does is show the average person 9especially those who don't read the NYT) that "Yes Virginia, there is a Deep State"
